cmd_update() in the submodule script tries to preserve the options given
on the command line in the "orig_flags" variable to pass them on into the
recursion when the '--recursive' option is given. But this isn't necessary
because all the variables set by the options will be seen in the recursion
too as that is achieved by executing "eval cmd_update".
The same has already been done for cmd_status() in e15bec0ec, so let's
clean up cmd_update() likewise. Also add a test to make sure that a
submodule name given on the command line is not passed into the recursion
(which was the goal of adding the orig_flags variable in 98dbe63db).

The --for-status option was an undocumented option used only by

This will make it easier to disable the comments from wt-status.c later.

git status prints information for submodules, but it should ignore the status of
those which have submodule.<name>.ignore set to all. Fix it so that it does
properly ignore those which have that setting either in .git/config or in
.gitmodules.
Not ignored are submodules that are added, deleted, or moved (which is
essentially a combination of the first two) because it is not easily possible to
determine the old path once a move has occurred, nor is it easily possible to
detect which adds and deletions are moves and which are not. This also
preserves the previous behavior of always listing modules which are to be
deleted.
Tests are included which verify that this change has no effect on git submodule
summary without the --for-status option.

The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1). Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1. This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.
However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject. Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:
$ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'
With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates. When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch. If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`. You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).
Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================
Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option. The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in
commit f030c96d86
Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>

git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable
Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.
Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same. The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls. The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`. Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.
Implementation details
======================
In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1. However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:
if test -z "$nofetch"
then
# Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
# is not reachable from a ref.
(clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
fi
There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository. If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

If you remove a submodule, in order to keep the repository so that

resurrect the submodule, the real repository will stay in $GIT_DIR

different submodule at the same path will fail. Diagnose this case
a bit better, and if the user really wants to add an unrelated
submodule at the same path, give the "--name" option to give it a

the original submodule.

When adding a new submodule it can happen that .git/modules/<name> already
contains a submodule repo, e.g. when a submodule is removed from the work
tree and another submodule is added at the same path. But then the work
tree of the submodule will be populated using the existing repository and
not the one the user provided, which results in an incorrect work tree. On
the other hand the user might reactivate a submodule removed earlier, then
reusing that .git directory is the Right Thing to do.
As git can't decide what is the case, error out and tell the user she
should use either use a different name for the submodule with the "--name"
option or can reuse the .git directory for the newly added submodule by
providing the --force option (which only makes sense when the upstream
matches, so the error message lists all remotes of .git/modules/<name>).
In one test in t7406 the --force option had to be added to "git submodule
add", as that test re-adds a formerly removed submodule.

"git submodule add" initializes the name of a submodule to its path. This
was ok as long as the .git directory lived inside the submodule's work
tree, but since 1.7.8 it is stored in the .git/modules/<name> directory of
the superproject, making the submodule name survive the removal of the
submodule's work tree. This leads to problems when the user tries to add a
different submodule at the same path - and thus the same name - later, as
that will happily try to restore the submodule from the old repository
instead of the one the user specified and will lead to a checkout of the
wrong repository.
Add the new "--name" option to let the user provide a name for the
submodule. This enables the user to solve this conflict without having to
remove .git/modules/<name> by hand (which is no viable solution as it
makes it impossible to checkout a commit that records the old submodule
and populate it, as that will still check out the new submodule for the
same reason).
To achieve that the submodule's name is added to the parameter list of
the module_clone() helper function. This makes it possible to remove the
call of module_name() there because both callers of module_clone() already
know the name and can provide it as argument number two.

"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a

that leads to a confusing behaviour. A mistyped command name is
instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that
name, e.g.
$ git submodule show
error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?
Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec
given to unspelled "status" subcommand. "git submodule" without any
argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its
value is questionable.

Various subcommands of the "git submodule" command exited with 0
status even though the path given by the user did not exist.
The reason behind that was that they all pipe the output of
module_list into the while loop which then does the action on the
paths specified by the commandline. Since the exit code of the
command on the upstream side of the pipe is ignored by the shell,
the status code of "ls-files --error-unmatch" nor "module_list" was
not propagated.
In case ls-files returns with an error code, we write a special
string that is not possible in non error situations, and no other
output, so that the downstream can detect the error and die with an
error code.
The error message that there is an unmatched pathspec comes through
stderr directly from ls-files. So the user still gets a hint whats going
